i'm ali, a nyc-based technical writer on mongodb's server docs team, documenting all things
related to mongodb's core database and developer tools. i stumbled into tech writing while
studying english at cal (go bears and go humanities!) with a few computer science and ux
design courses up my sleeve.
i'm now also pursuing my m.a. in instructional tech & media at teachers college, exploring
the intersections of design, digital media, and learning.
ā“ i became a published author for the
official mongodb guide.
ā“ i started grad school!
